From where we stood We could see tue
field of lots of history we had studied NJ

Plymouth Rock, and i'll Plymouth ! seen Il
ION "Endicott's Inn" and thought OF our
brave war secretary, Col. Endicott, of Mass
achusetts, near Plymouth Rock; on the
same waters Sir Francis Drake had sailed,
GOING out to many battles, and twice
around the world; in 1888 12O ships went

elements had destroyed the Spanish Arma-

waters had come from France and contlgu-

times, and several occasions had burnt

Plymouth has one of the finest harbOrs
in England and one of the toughest seas
outside, and fourteen miles away Is the
famous EddyStone lighthouse, which the
waves lump clean over, 80 they say. This
is the fourth one that has been built, the
first being washed away, the next burned
and the third torn down for the present
one. There are government docks and Il
great ''victulling station here for the
navy, too, something we don't have no
need for in Ameriky up to the present
writing.
We loafed around Plymouth for a day
and a halt, getting our Land legs back
in place of Il sea legs, and then start
ed out for Penzance and the very end of all
England-Land's End. 1t was a nice
trip, Mr.. Editor, and I'll tell your readers
about 1t in the next. Yours truly,
